His Honor briefly addressed them, saying that all bail cases would go over to the September Term, and by working hard, they would be enabled to finish in three or four days; that there were now one hundred and seventeen persons in prison, whose cases would be presented to their consideration, and he was informed that others were being brought in at the rate of twenty to thirty per day; that it was not necessary to examine witnesses further than to become satisfied that crimes had been committed. He would call their attention particularly to several statutes, a violation of which was declared to be a misdemeanor, punishable with imprisonment.

The petit jury was then sworn.

A motion being made in behalf of Peter B. Strang, in the case of the People vs. Peter R. Strang, argued at the May Term, Judge RUSSEL rendered a decision, refusing to quash the indictment, and denying all the points raised by the defendant's counsel.

Mary Brown was sentenced to two years and six months imprisonment in State Prison.

The court then adjourned to 11 A.M., Friday, thus giving the Grand Jury, which sits on Wednesday, time to prepare bills in advance. His Honor contemplates, by clearing the calendar every day, disposing of all the cases by Friday of next week.
